Each volume of Screenworks is published on a rolling basis in addition to calls for special issues. This means that in the spirit of reactive online publishing we will review and publish work as it comes in, rather than waiting for a full Volume before publication. Please go to our submissions page to download the proforma and guidelines on the submission process.

This volume is presented in association with the British Association of Film, Television and Screen Studies.
